Rare happenings

I never post in my livejournal (you can check out my real blog at www.xanga.com/lorienholloway), but this one was too good to pass up:

The party!

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 21:25:50 GMT

Repeat of my Xanga entry, for all you livejournal snobs (Only livejournal has a spell-checker, so I won't look like an illiterate slob like I usually do!):

Wow. The party was a huge success. And for the most part, what happens at the party, stays at the party. (And my apt. in general, anytime) But thanks to everyone who came, and thank you so much for giving me quite possibly the best night/weekend I've had in five years. Now all of you come back and help me eat the leftover pizza!!!

Xtra thanks go to Jess and Anne, my girls. For the cake. and the other cake. and the pizza. and the beer. and the presents. and the poster. and the ice. and the presents. and the other presents. and, well, you get the picture. I would have been hopeless with out your assistance.

Xtra thanks go to Shanothan for coming over early and keeping me from freaking out, and staying all weekend to debrief. I miss you! I was so happy you were there, it wouldn't have been my birthday without you.

XTRA XTRA thanks to a certain someone who handled an awkward situation with extreme tact and maturity. I've gotten all the pieces of the story now, and you have proved once again what a great person you are. XTRA big apologies for putting you in that situation in the first place. I'm so so sorry I let things get to that point. I hope you know who you are.

So, I am exhausted and happy. I hope to stay this way for quite awhile. Well, not exhausted, but happy. I'm practically glowing. Theres so much more I could say, but I'll just keep it to myself. Everyone have a wonderful week!

xanga rules

So yes, I still live on xanga, but just to be different, I thought I'd give a little love to my livejournal. All my friends seem to come in sets. I have set of friends A, which knows nothing about and has never met set of friends B, etc. Well, set of...almost friends N (for newest) exists on livejournal, not xanga (crazy freaks, xanga rox!), so I've been missing out on all the dirt! Shameless voyeur that I am, I can't let this resource go untapped, so here I am, hanging out on livejournal again. or not. Or whatever, I'm losing my mind, I need to get back home to Denton, where it's safe.

switch!

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 19:34:30 GMT

Okay, so Shan convinced me to switch to Xanga. My username is the same as here. So come read more about my boring work/school/drive/sleep life. Yikes, I'm really kinda depressed today!

Thursday

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 17:20:48 GMT

I love Thursdays, usually. One class, demo room all to myself, planetarium all night. Good Times (can you tell I listen to too much LoveLine?) Okay, so my assumption that 4 lbs of dry ice would last overnight in a styrofoam cooler turned out to be completley wrong, but hey, that gave me something productive to do today. Speaking of productive, I finally found a way to pass the time at work (quizilla!) and it's not working! Maybe CAS caught on to the fact that the only thing I do on the computer in here is BS around, and blocked everything fun... Damn, I guess I'll just have to look for a molecular model of ice like i'm s'posed to.

Frozen CO2

Wed, 10 Mar 2004 19:28:57 GMT

Okay, so the demo room job isn't all bad, I just got to get dry Ice for Kay tomorrow, and now I know where it is, mwa-haha. So who's to stop me from getting a little extra to play with??? We had two of the most BOORING mini-lessons in my education class today. One on women in history, one on debit and credit. Blech-o. Makes me wonder though, If I think that all these lessons outside of my are of expertise that boring, are people gonna be that bored by mine? God I hope not, I'm going to try to make it as fun as possible... we shall see. I'm skipping recitation. Kowalski, while interesting at times, doesn't really inspire me to be studious.

Short lived

Wed, 10 Mar 2004 15:27:52 GMT

Okay, so like every new thing I get into, I'll probably start out by posting on this thing all the freaking time, like "Hey, I just saw a squirrel!" type stuff. But, Like everything else, I'll do it less ans less and then I'll just never post anymore. Like my planner, every semester I start out with the best of organizational intentions, and I'll be religious about keeping up my planner for, oh two maybe three weeks? after that, I may as well throw it away. But for those first two weeks man, its great. So I kinda figure I should get as much out as possible right? Before I just quit? Anyway, I'm at work, so I probably shouldn't be doing this stuff anyway. So work is interesting. The Physics demo room, you'd think it would be fun. But...well, its a lot of sitting around doing nothing. Either a professor comes in and asks for something, and I have NO IDEA what they're talking about or where to find it, or they come in and I ask "can I get you something" and they just say no and do it themselves. Ah well. and my co-worker Evan drives me absolutely MAD. He is MIND-CRUSHINGLY boring, and he's also a bit of a know it all. But I survive, I have the planetarium to look forward to, it's so so so awesome, i LOVE it. All you fellow Math/Science geeks out there: NEVER NEVER NEVER take education classes, you will HATE them. They are important and helpful, and yet nothing but complete BS. I actually managed to get my butt out of bed this morning and made it to work on time. (BTW, if you don't know me, I'm an ADD crack-monkey so I have a LOT of non-sequitors). This semester has been really tough. I have to leave the house at 6:15 every morning so I can make it to school by 8:15. And half the time I don't LEAVE school till like ten or later, so get home really late, and I never sleep! I've been getting like five hours a night, and this week it finally caught up to me and I've slept in two out of three days so far. And I drive 1000 miles a week. Bitch Bitch Bitch. My 1000 miles a week has become like a point of pride for me, like "Oh you're life sucks huh? Cause you're dog died, and you're failing all your classes, and your boyfriend/girlfriend left you and you're house got carried away in a tornado huh? Well yeah that sucks but I drive 1000 miles a week! Beat that!" Which is of course, why I had to mention it here :-D Lets see, what else? After my test yesterday, Rob and I went to Old Navy for flip-flops, I bought one pair, he bought one pair in every color, including hot pink. Aren't rich gay guys great? Yikes, Evan's back, I'm always paranoid he's reading over my shoulder, and he's gonna see all the crap I say about him. It's really not his fault that I don't like him. Spring Break is next week, yay! I'm thinking two days in Keller, two days in Austin (tubing anyone? or will it be too cold?) and then one day with astronomy. And LOTS of sleep. This is great, I can talk all I want without annoying anyone! I get in the car with my parents and talk, just like this for HOURS, it drives them nuts. This way I'm just talking to myself, but it FEELS like I'm talking to someone else. Oops, gotta go to class, stupid stupid education class. We've been talking about multiple intelligences and it really just annoys the crap outa me. They've just added a new one: naturalist. It means you're good with animals and can survive in the woods for a week eating bark and magic berries. I mean come ON! Where does it end? "Oh, you're really good at tying your shoes, you are gifted in the shoelace intelligence area" Every time they add a new one, I feel like mine, the original, is de-valued just a little bit more. Anyway "I saw a squirrel! It was going like this...(insert Gir-Squirrel sounds here). Can I be a Mongoose dog?"

PoliSci Test

Wed, 10 Mar 2004 01:15:28 GMT

Whew! That one was harder than the last one...I'm guessing 85-90? Anyway...

Wow...

Tue, 09 Mar 2004 19:33:07 GMT

So Kelly, now I know your secret! The reason you know everything that goes on is cause you found their weblogs! I must saying, reading Shan's made me sad that I'm not really part of her life anymore. Of course, I could say the same thing about SOOOOO many people. I'm just not good at keeping in touch. Oh well, Spring Break is coming up and I get to see Shan ('scuse me, I mean Var) and Kelly! I think we should drive up to the Oklahoma border and go gambling. Oooh, I just had another idea. If Shan graduates and doesn't want to live at home, she could share an apt with me in Denton. Of course, who the hell wants to live in Denton? I do! It's better than driving 160 miles a day, that's for sure...But that would be weird. I want my own apt, I just can't afford it. I may be really really happy working in the planetarium, and technically it does pay well, but it sure doesn't pay well enough. Anyway, I have to go, um, kill time for 20 more minutes, then drive to fucking RHOME to take care of a ticket I got for no insurance! I mean come on! If you're gonna make me drive all the way out there, couldn't you get me for something bigger than that? Wait, something bigger than would be really expensive..so maybe not. I guess I'm really glad he only warned me for speeding. I was driving home from the Astronomy Club thing at GC Ranch (which you have to navigate a veritable MAZE of teeny roads to get there) and needless to say, I got lost. So when he pulled me over the first words out of my mouth were "Can you help me? I'm lost." But not in that country hick voice Benjamin uses when he says that. Anyway, I think thats why he only gave me a warning. Either that or he was looking down my shirt and felt guilty (or appreciative?). Wow, I can really ramble on can't I? I better save some for later....

Could be Fun...

Tue, 09 Mar 2004 17:50:25 GMT

Okay, so now I'm gettin' into this thing. Its just another way to talk to myself. But it's kinda exhibitionist, no? So like, I could post something like "I have a crush on person X" or "person y is a raging bitch" or "person z needs to die" and the persons x y and z could READ it and I'd be busted. This bears thinking about. Cause if you can't say that kind of stuff, then whats the point? Of course, so far, no one is reading this. Which makes it just kind of sad. Anyway, I'm having fun changing the colors!

What is this?

Tue, 09 Mar 2004 17:19:53 GMT

So, what is this thing? just an online diary that anyone can read? Sure why not? Information overload baby! Today I went to my stupid education class where we learned about our power colors, I'm a green. I got my paper back: 97. Now I'm killing time in the physics demo room. I wish there was more to do than kill time, I just don't know what...
